Part II of “Marina Really Likes Super Monkey Ball Jr.”
My friend had recently replaced my copy that was thrown away, so I’ve been able to enjoy this game in its physical form again.
Like the original Gamecube counterpart, this game is very difficult, though whenever I get tired of losing a bunch of apes in the expert levels I can try out one of the many unlockable mini games, such as Monkey Golf, or Monkey Bowling (I really like this sport-naming motif).
Part of the appeal to me is the ability to play it on my GB Micro whose compact and crisp LCD screen complements the game’s low-poly look quite well. I genuinely love this system, and I’ve found Super Monkey Ball Jr. to make a nice pairing with a lot of charm. Here are some photos with a disgusting flesh appendage for scale. It is so cute.
